Chapter 737 No Way Out???
Now, the people of the Church of Holy Light have a simple question.
So, what to do next?
"Wait, where is the road?"
Anna ran towards the cliff in small steps. Looking around, she saw only fog blocking her view and layers of mountains rising one after another. It seemed like there was no way to go!
Even if I use the flying technique, I don’t know which direction to fly to!
If there were an experienced adventurer here, he would probably be able to tell at a glance that the road before the Holy Light Knights was not for those who came to explore.
Because no matter how horrible and deceptive the map of Sen's dungeon is, it still seems to provide guidance overall. Whether it is the fire at the corner of a dark path, the tall tower in front of layers of fog, or the open space in the dense jungle, there will be at least some eye-catching things everywhere.
Those eye-catching things are the "guides" that attract adventurers to explore. Whether adventurers realize it or not, they will always follow the guide.
But now, there is really no guidance at all for this cliff and the vast world behind it.
So, now I really don’t know what to do.
"Where is the road?"
No one responded to Anna's doubt by saying the road was under our feet. Everyone looked around, revealing doubts as boundless as Guior's.
"Do we have to go back? Is there some hidden path we haven't discovered?"
"Putting the exit route on the hidden road? The Thane Dungeon has never done such a thing. Could it be that the level of insidiousness is going to increase?"
"Why don't we go back and ask that knight?"
"Why are you asking questions when the person is dead?"
Five minutes later, the Holy Light Knights returned along the same route and found the Senior Knight Astra who had died alone behind the wall.
However, what no one expected was that when the knight heard the footsteps of people returning, he actually stood up shakily.
Seeing the small white flowers that Anleisi had placed on him as a mourning were shaken off, Anna's surprised voice rang out:
"Hey, you're not dead?"
As soon as the words fell, a fighting skill so fast that the sword blade was almost invisible came down towards Anna.
"No, he's dead."
Anlexi's voice came from behind. Before she finished speaking, Anna felt dizzy. It turned out that Anlexi grabbed her by the neck guard and threw her high to the back.
"Bang!"
She was wrapped in armor like a can and fell heavily to the ground. It would take her a while for her to pull her body out of the ground.
On the other side, Anleisi had already started fighting with the knight who had suddenly "come alive". The saber shining with holy light was facing the plain straight sword and shield, and the scene was full of flashing sword lights.
It is true that this Senior Knight Astra stood up, but he cannot be considered alive.
Because the opponent has lost all his wisdom, rationality and memory, he is now just a walking corpse that will attack any living thing that passes by.
In other words. Zombies!
“I didn’t expect it to change so quickly.”
Anleisi turned the saber in his hand, and with a "bang", the knight's sword that was slashing at him was accurately deflected. The next moment, the blade pierced into his chest fiercely. Not too much blood spurted out from the wound, staining the ancient wall behind him red.
This was the first time she saw the afterimage transformed into a zombie.
It was at the moment when she saw the knight's "corpse transformation" that she suddenly realized something.
Could it be that those zombies wandering around in the Northern Undead Asylum had the same status as the Senior Knight Astra, or even a higher status, before they lost their sanity?
If this is the case, then it does not seem unacceptable that the zombies have become stronger.
When the saber was pulled out, the knight fell on his back on the ground, but before Anleisi could catch his breath, an unclear sound suddenly came from his throat, and he suddenly jumped up and pounced on her.
The Holy Light Knights who had been eyeing the knight covetously rushed over and successfully knocked the knight, who was about the same size as them, to the ground.
They can't do anything to the big-butt demon, the powerful black knight, or the knight whose body size is about the same as theirs?
The knight who had just turned into a zombie still retained a certain amount of strength, but he was extremely weak after being executed by Anleisi through the chest, so he was knocked down by the crowd who rushed over.
As the saying goes, a random punch can kill a master. After the Holy Light Knights knocked him down, they launched all kinds of attacks on him.
Finally, as the number of souls in everyone's bodies increased, the knight let out a sound that sounded like relief and a sigh, and fell to the ground, completely motionless.
The number of souls added to everyone when the knight died seemed quite considerable, allowing some people with weaker strength to be promoted to the next level.
"It still doesn't work."
Anleisi waved her hand and wrapped the knight with holy light. After a moment, the opponent's figure turned into light particles and gradually dissipated, leaving a white light spot in its place. When she picked it up, she found that it was the shield in the opponent's hand.
The texture of the shield looks great, but that's not what everyone wants. What people really want to know is how to get out!
"The knight has turned into a zombie, and there's no way to communicate. Now the clues are broken." Anna muttered to herself. There was no such situation in her database.
"Do you think the way out is related to the bird's nest?" A Holy Light Knight made a guess.
"What does it matter? It's impossible for a big bird to fly over and take us away. That's too ridiculous." Anna shook her head, obviously disagreeing with her companion's point of view.
Everyone seemed to think that this idea was not very reliable, so they started wandering around the Northern Undead Asylum.
With the key obtained from the knight, the entire Northern Undead Asylum was completely opened to them, and they could go everywhere.
The Holy Light Knights knocked on any suspicious places along the way, releasing detection magic from time to time, trying to find any hidden walls.
The result was naturally nothing, but a hidden road was found. However, when we walked in, we found that it was the road leading to the warehouse where their weapons were confiscated.
This route can be used to avoid the black knights guarding the warehouse, but the key is that they don’t need it now!
Until the end, everyone walked through the Northern Undead Asylum over and over again, collecting all the light spots in every corner, and almost vomited after walking on some repetitive roads.
No other path was found.
"Where the hell are we going to get out, you bastard!"
Gathering again at the edge of the cliff, people raised angry voices.
Anger is a negative emotion that is no less than fear, so at this moment, the Sion Dungeon is still making continuous profits and absorbing a lot of mental power.
Maybe this is why no hint was given on purpose?
When people gathered on the edge of the cliff to rest, they heard a strange sound in the air. Looking back, they saw a huge black bird resembling a crow flying at high speed from the horizon.
"Enemy attack!?"
Unexpectedly, there is a skirmish to be fought here. The Holy Light Knights grabbed the weapons at hand and wanted to fight with this strange bird that didn't look very strong. Maybe a brave man could kill this guy in one breath.
But what people didn't expect was that the giant bird did not go to war with them.
In other words, the other party didn't even look at them, but simply grabbed a round giant egg from the bird's nest and turned away, leaving people with only a chic back.
"What the hell is going on?" The Holy Light Knights drew their swords and looked around in confusion, not knowing what the giant bird's purpose was.
At this moment, looking at the giant bird's gradually leaving back, Anna, who had been observing silently before, had a gleam in her eyes.
She walked closer to the bird's nest and looked at the few remaining bird eggs in the nest, which were about the same size as curled up adults, with a thoughtful glint in her eyes.
After a moment, she finally figured it out! She turned around and excitedly greeted everyone:
"These eggs are still edible! Let's use them to replenish our energy!"
“Okay!”
So, the Holy Light Knights who couldn't find a way out started to make a fire on the spot and roast bird eggs to eat in order to conserve their energy.
In the Sion dungeon, where the weather change system is implemented, this outdoor campfire dinner with the theme of roasting bird eggs lasts from dawn to dusk, and then from dusk to dawn. When the bird eggs are almost eaten, guess what happens?
A magical thing happened, the eggs in the bird's nest were refreshed!
"Yeah, I can eat more!"
As normal people with normal thinking abilities, the Holy Light Knights, faced with the special situation of the Northern Undead Asylum, "helplessly" chose a solution:
Wait and see.
After all, the entire Northern Undead Asylum has been searched by them countless times, and there is no other way at all.
What kind of genius can find a new way out?
On the side of the Spark Church, earlier than the Holy Light Church.
"Hervi, Hervi, look, when I curl up, I look about the same size as this bird's egg!"
A knight from the Spark Church, his face full of curiosity, huddled next to a bird's egg, comparing his size with that of the egg.
"Really? The one next to it looks about the same size as me. Let me try it, and it's really about the same size."
Hervey curled up beside the bird eggs as he spoke. For some reason, he was actually a little excited when he found a bird egg that was not much different from his own size.
As for the others, they were excitedly looking for bird eggs that were similar to their own, looking like they were having fun.
"Aren't you guys childish?" Todd beside him complained. "Shouldn't the most urgent thing be to find a way out? Why waste time here when it's impossible to find a way out anyway—"
Before he could finish his words, he heard a sharp bird cry. The giant black bird that had left earlier suddenly turned back and flew towards the bird's nest with great momentum.
"Oh no! They're not coming to attack us!" Todd was shocked. He heard that Blackbirds hold grudges very well!
"It's okay, I'll take care of it—Hey hey hey!"
Just as a Spark Knight was about to take action, he suddenly let out a panicked cry.
Because his curled up body was suddenly grabbed by the giant bird!
"What are you standing there for? Save me!"
The Spark Knight's cry for help was heard by the giant bird as it flew farther and farther away, and eventually nothing could be heard.
Todd stared blankly at the Spark Knight being grabbed by the giant bird. For a moment, he didn't know how to react most appropriately. Should he express his concern for that person in a tactful way?
After all, I heard that it's quite painful for giant bird-type monsters to eat people.
“.”
Hervey looked at the direction where the Spark Knight was captured and the gradually disappearing figure of the giant bird, and a thoughtful glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.
As he was thinking, he suddenly pointed to the misty mountains opposite him and said with a dazed expression:
"road?"
